Mouse cursor is hovering over the checkout button for Skullgirls...

I'm going back and forth on it. Think I'll let it simmer for a few hours.

Same here.. wife and daughter are really interested in the game, and I've got a huge backlog as is.

I saw someone earlier suggest a 4 pack. Anyone else up for it?
 
Mostly because it doesn't need this. When your most complex move is a single 360 motion (which is helped by SG's exclusive 360 protection tech) you don't need to program extra stuff like a "beginner" mode. It helps that all most all supers in the game are some variation of QCB/QCF/DP+pp/kk and you can confirm them after a single normal hit. The leniency is pretty mindboggling for some characters in the game. It's better than stuff like BB where I had to do half circle forward+half circle back+kick for Bang's standard super or KOF with it's 720 motions for characters that aren't even grapplers (why Kula...WHY!). Capcom games are the only thing that come close to SG in simplicity with their 2x QCB/QCF+pp/kk supers.

You'd be surprised how many people can't consistently do qcb or qcf.
Try to teach them to srk and it just just doesn't compute.

Casuals (using the term as "people not into fighters") can have a hard time picking this stuff up, which is why just about every game that's come out from a major publisher lately (CAPCOM and Aksys, at least) has the "stylish" or "beginner" input modes. They want people to buy their games and not be intimidated by inputs.

I'm not saying SG not having one is a problem. I'm just saying that I don't agree your assessment of it "not needing one" for people who might be interested but are intimidated by the inputs required to be competent.

2nd best AC after 2

Maybe if you're into GTA: Renaissance...

Lucked out and picked up Don't Starve for the error price. Was really considering Prison Architect, but I don't see myself putting enough time into it before a larger price drop would likely come along. Really hoping to see Recettear drop a bit more.

I wonder if globe card prices will drop near the end of the sale due to everybody trying to sell them, or if the demand for crafting badges will outweigh the supply and cause price increases?

whoever wins Red Faction Armageddon plese PM me as I also have a code for the path to war DLC... assuming that even IS armageddon, as GMG kinda messed with the order of the keys >_> Also, if there is another fuck up with the steam links, just PM and ill sort it out :(
 
Talking about AC games. I haven't played AC2 and brotherhood, I thought I'm done with this franchise after the first game, which let's be frank was boring.
Do any of those 2 are must play games? Much better then the rest, for example?

Well, they are considered the two best games of the franchise and for that price (2,49/3,74) I'd say it's worth it. If you don't like the whole formula of the Assassin's Creed-franchise or Ubisoft's open world-collectibles games it might not be for you but for that price you don't have much to lose.
 
Well, made my attempt with 7 crafts. 2 normal badge and bought the foil one. Nothing good. Got the two bottom tier tf2 stuff so it's not terrible.

Are you rich, a video game altruist, or do you have magical computer powers?

Also thanks for providing a reason to jam on F5.
